Another day, another story that says O2UK is getting the Palm Pre – this time though, it’s coming from a respected source.
3G.co.uk has a good reputation for providing accurate stories, and they are stating the Palm Pre is coming to the UK, Ireland, and Germany – which is good news for people like me who have been bemoaning a lack of ‘Palm love’ (so to speak, ha ha ha!)
It seems like any day now we are going to have some major (and fierce) competition in UK market on the smartphones side of things – the UK is well-recognized as being one of the most competitive in the world for Network Operators, but smartphone-wise things have been a bit hit and miss previously. That’s all finished, as in the next couple of months we do/should have:
- iPhone 3GS
- HTC Hero
- Palm Pre
Three O/Ss, three different vendors, and three radically different user experiences I should imagine. When the dust settles and everyone has had time to play with their equipment (again, so to speak!), then we’ll see which one comes out the most positive overall. Right now for me actually, the most excitement is coming from the HTC Hero ‘Sense UI’ – I’m REALLY keen to see if it can match the iPhone. If this latest news is on point, then I should be able to compare the WebOS from Palm at roughly the same time…
Readers, which device is on your shopping list right now?

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
